Intent 1:

To limit the probability of moisture becoming trapped between the moisture protection of interior finishes and other low-permeance materials placed inboard of that protection.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • water accumulation or an inadequate control of relative humidity,
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of elements inboard of the moisture protection of interior finishes.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
  • contact with moisture.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
